Preventing Industrial Accidents Reappraising H. W. Heinrich – More than Triangles and Dominoes

Preventing Industrial Accidents Reappraising H. W. Heinrich – More than Triangles and Dominoes

Herbert William Heinrich has been one of the most influential safety pioneers. His work from the 1930s/1940s affects much of what is done in safety today – for better and worse. Heinrich’s work is debated and heavily critiqued by some while others defend it with zeal. Interestingly few people who discuss the ideas have ever read his work or looked into its backgrounds; most do so based on hearsay secondary sources or mere opinion. One reason for this is that Heinrich’s work has been out of print for decades: it is notoriously hard to find and quality biographical information is hard to get. Based on some serious safety archaeology which provided access to many of Heinrich’s original papers books and rather rich biographical information this book aims to fill this gap. It deals with the life and work of Heinrich the context he worked in and his influences and legacy. The book defines the main themes in Heinrich’s work and discusses them paying attention to their origins the developments that came from them interpretations and attributions and the critiques that they may have attracted over the years. This includes such well-known ideas and metaphor as the accident triangle the accident sequence (dominoes) the hidden cost of accidents the human element and management responsibility. This book is the first to deal with the work and legacy of Heinrich as a whole based on a unique richness of material and approaching the matter from several (new) angles. It also reflects on Heinrich’s relevance for today’s safety science and practice. | Preventing Industrial Accidents Reappraising H. W. Heinrich – More than Triangles and Dominoes

Visible Numbers Essays on the History of Statistical Graphics

Visible Numbers Essays on the History of Statistical Graphics

Bringing together scholars from around the world this collection examines many of the historical developments in making data visible through charts graphs thematic maps and now interactive displays. Today we are used to seeing data portrayed in a dizzying array of graphic forms. Virtually any quantified knowledge from social and physical science to engineering and medicine as well as business government or personal activity has been visualized. Yet the methods of making data visible are relatively new innovations most stemming from eighteenth- and nineteenth-century innovations that arose as a logical response to a growing desire to quantify everything-from science economics and industry to population health and crime. Innovators such as Playfair Alexander von Humboldt Heinrich Berghaus John Snow Florence Nightingale Francis Galton and Charles Minard began to develop graphical methods to make data and their relations more visible. In the twentieth century data design became both increasingly specialized within new and existing disciplines-science engineering social science and medicine-and at the same time became further democratized with new forms that make statistical business and government data more accessible to the public. At the close of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first an explosion in interactive digital data design has exponentially increased our access to data. The contributors analyze this fascinating history through a variety of critical approaches including visual rhetoric visual culture genre theory and fully contextualized historical scholarship. | Visible Numbers Essays on the History of Statistical Graphics

Psychoanalytic Thinking A Dialectical Critique of Contemporary Theory and Practice

Psychoanalytic Thinking A Dialectical Critique of Contemporary Theory and Practice

A video of Don Carveth discussing the book and its subject matter can be accessed using the following web URL: https://www. youtube. com/watch?v=yW7tGq0uEtU Since the classical Freudian and ego psychology paradigms lost their position of dominance in the late 1950s psychoanalysis became a multi-paradigm science with those working in the different frameworks increasingly engaging only with those in the same or related intellectual silos. Beginning with Freud’s theory of human nature and civilization Psychoanalytic Thinking: A Dialectical Critique of Contemporary Theory and Practice proceeds to review and critically evaluate a series of major post-Freudian contributions to psychoanalytic thought. In response to the defects blind spots and biases in Freud’s work Melanie Klein Wilfred Bion Jacques Lacan Erich Fromm Donald Winnicott Heinz Kohut Heinrich Racker Ernest Becker amongst others offered useful correctives and innovations that are nevertheless themselves in need of remediation for their own forms of one-sidedness. Through Carveth’s comparative exploration readers will acquire a sense of what is enduringly valuable in these diverse psychoanalytic contributions as well as exposure to the dialectically deconstructive method of critique that Carveth sees as central to psychoanalytic thinking at its best. Carveth violates the taboo against speaking of the Imaginary Symbolic and the Real unless one is a Lacanian or the paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions unless one is a Kleinian or id ego superego ego-ideal and conscience unless one is a Freudian ego psychologist and so on. Out of dialogue and mutual critique psychoanalysis can over time separate the wheat from the chaff collect the wheat and approach an ever-evolving synthesis. Psychoanalytic Thinking: A Dialectical Critique of Contemporary Theory and Practice will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists and more broadly to readers in philosophy social science and critical social theory. | Psychoanalytic Thinking A Dialectical Critique of Contemporary Theory and Practice

The Theory of International Relations Selected Texts from Gentili to Treitschke

The Theory of International Relations Selected Texts from Gentili to Treitschke

The great writings of the past on the subject of international relations add an important dimension to the contemporary study of the field. The Theory of International Relations consists of substantial selections from authors whose ideas should be readily available to all students of international relations. All the passages selected by the editors ask fundamental theoretical questions searching for the essence of interstate relations. This quest for answers carries the reader into investigations of the causes of war the balance of power the relationship between international relations and the political theory of the state and other major issues of this subject. The editors provide an introduction to the work which sets out the principles of selection and their belief in the relevance of political thought to the understanding of international relations. The selections are arranged in chronological sequence from Alberico Gentili writing in 1598 to Heinrich von Treitschke lecturing in Berlin at the end of the nineteenth century. All are concerned with the nature of international politics. Some of these selections are translated here for the first time and others reprinted from translations not easily obtainable. It is significant that Gentz's essay on the balance of power has not appeared in English since 1806 while Rousseau's writings on international politics have never been fully translated at all. There can be little doubt that the great writers of the past are presently neglected by students of international relations. This work covers extensive ground in solving this problem. As the theoretical background of international relations is acquiring an increasingly important place in college courses in this area the need for this book is widely felt. | The Theory of International Relations Selected Texts from Gentili to Treitschke

On the Way to Myself Communications to a Friend

On the Way to Myself Communications to a Friend

Originally published in 1969 Dr Charlotte Wolff was the author of three books of psychology: The Human Hand A Psychology of Gesture and The Hand in Psychological Diagnosis. This book though it contains much psychology is not of the same scientific kind as these. It is an autobiography but not one of the normal kind. It is the history of a mind not the chronicle of a life. For this reason it is not arranged chronologically but it is constructed round what the author called the creative shock experiences of her life some of which belong with their consequences rather than with events adjacent in time. The resulting book is one of imaginative psychology. In the course of a life which began on the borders of Poland and carried her to Germany France Russia and England Dr Wolff had met and known many of the most famous writers artists and thinkers of the time. In Germany she studied under the founding Existentialists Husserl and Heidegger; in France she carried out psychological research under Professor Henri Wallon and was also assisted by the Surrealists André Breton St. Exupéry Paul Eluard; in England she was aided in her work by Sir Julian Huxley Aldous Huxley and his wife Dr William Stephenson Dr Earle and others. But Dr Wolff’s earliest creative work was as a poet and though she turned to psychology her interest in art brought her into touch at different times with Ravel Virginia Woolf Bernard Shaw Lady Ottoline Morrell Thomas and Heinrich Mann Baladine Klossowska and many more. Dr Earle wrote of her that she is ‘an artist of psychology’ and it is thus that she appears in this odd and fascinating book. Today it is an interesting glimpse in to the life of an early feminist psychologist. Her later research focused on sexology her writing on lesbianism and bisexuality were influential early works in the field. | On the Way to Myself Communications to a Friend
